when you're looking at the photo in flickr, click on the "all sizes" button above the pic... then down at the bottom of the next page there should be a section with the URL of the photo... grab the URL and use it for the standard html stuff that you need to post any picture (see below)... good luck...
It helps a LOT if you can take the client to see an actual installation of Nana so they can see the quality of the engineering and the wow factor of this expanse of openess. They are very nice (both the doors and the clients).
Also the aluminum are significanlty less expensive than the wood, so that helps.
hey d, love them nana. good job. sometimes one move like that brings the whole space forward and it must not be comprimised. like you didn't. i'd be a good jello man but summer is short and i still not gone to izmir yet. i see a feature somewhere interviewing donna sink.
silverlake, that looks super cool. And tlmII, is that what I think it is? Tell us more please, both of you.
Also architphil, is that a house? And yeah, freq, I want to hear about yours too!
Mine is an addition to a very cool very "Modern" as in mid-century low-slung ranchette ca. 1954. Tore down a bad garage and adding a 3-car garage, master suite, exercise, mud room, powder room, also doing interior renovation of kitchen and turning dining room into family room. also extensive landscaping and hardscape.
rayray, the bossman is right on (that's why he's the bossman) - about $1,000/LF for the Nanawall. That's a good budget figure, at least, it can go up or down (a bit) from there. Nana on my project opens the family room to a large screen porch with a butterfly roof. We'll be using Neff cabinetry in the kitchen (it's Canadian!), and I hope to have good stories to tell about them, the cabinets are certainly lovely. Not as jaw-droppingly awesome as ArcLinea, but wonderful engineering and look. Great house, great site, great clients.
my pic is not of a house... it is a new entrance/cashier building to a public pool complex along the waterfront in st. petersburg, fl... we're adding 3 new buildings, renovating the existing building, adding a second competition pool, and adding a play area with pool, flume slide, etc...
the concrete pedestal between the two metal columns will support a pre-existing piece of public art... and the volume defined by the columns will be enclosed in a perforated aluminum box/screen...
here's a pic of the erection of the scaffolding for the CIP 'sail'
and here's one of the back of the other two new buildings
FLM and others...
Sorry to take so long to follow up, I took the weekend off - shoot me.
The pic I posted is the first week's worth of work on a boathouse.
It will have two interior slips and accomodations above (two bedrooms and a great room. It's being added to an existing dock (with some modifications). Pretty mainstream design-wise as it had to compliment the existing structure on land. Among the best clients I've ever worked for...
It's great to do a little gem like this in between the corporate / institutional bread-and-butter stuff.
Hey what the hell, since everyone is showing off...

great fun to do..great experience..great satisfaction..only bitch is that projects would get realised/ materialised when i'll be retired or dead.
but thats life.
This is not my job! And thank goodness, it gives me vertigo just looking at it. I took the picture near my son's school, so I drive by it every day.
They appear to be adding a platform on top of this existing antenna. I cannot imagine the amount of movement the crane operator must experience up there.
thanks puddles thanks lb. this one was for spec.
client is going to build the twin sister (a mirror image) on the next lot as was planned four years ago, but didn't pull the permit (80% cd is done and i already got paid for it, buhu...). it works pretty good because the building is actually a norrow shoe box in plan, covering only %25 of the lot, thus leaving plenty of open space between the buildings and actually developing their own personas. so they will have a nice story afterwards the installation.
anyway, i think i want to do few things better and therefore creating more work and get paid a litlle more. i am on a shoe string budget. but i get to do and say what i like. i am really happy its got done with an impossible budget of 125$ persq.ft. i think that has a lot to do with owner taking over the project half way, firing the suspended licensed contractor after the discovery, and me being around all the way to point and shoot and design as we build. i had a cd set of 9 sheets + the structural set of 15 pages. funny enough though, most of the details were in the 9 sheets already.

thanks architphil
ha LB...we almost did a project with those nana wall things. had it all designed and we switched to sliders.
That's happened every time I ever considered NANA.
With the expense involved, it takes some committment to get those in. Way to go Liberty.
It helps a LOT if you can take the client to see an actual installation of Nana so they can see the quality of the engineering and the wow factor of this expanse of openess. They are very nice (both the doors and the clients).

what's the LF and the LF cost of the nana wall installation that you did LB.
It looks worth every penny - nice project
btw - love this thread

This this was sitting on a sill in the abandoned basement we're putting offices in. How'd it get there?
client is a writer
not a picture, but i just walke in on a carpenter singing to himself:
"i'm the ass-man... yeah yeah yeah
i'm the ass-man... yeah yeah yeah"
i think he would have just repeated it over and over if i he hadn't noticed me.
LB, that looks like that project could be wicked nice. hard to tell from just one photo, but something about it really struck me. freq, what is that?
yeah, we sold our client on the idea...we decided that a fishing cabin didn't need 30' of nana wall, however, especially at a thousand bucks a foot.
they were ready to pay for it though
a few days old but the most recent one I've got

tlmII,
what's the plan on replacing those cracked blocks and rusted rebars?
Wow! I love this thread!!!
silverlake, that looks super cool. And tlmII, is that what I think it is? Tell us more please, both of you.

Orhan: always so beautiful, always so tight. I love your work.
ross, after your picture code (usually .jpg or .tif), enter ONE space, then "width=418" without the quotation marks, then the last set of brackets.
Your pic is lovely, here it is fixed - even better.
